Alyssa's Adventures in the Kanto Region

Chapter 25

The Hot-headed Quiz Master

"How did I end up taking a quiz... I just want to fight Blaine." I grimly thought to myself as I was presented with a question.

"Well! Is this correct?!" The game show host asked.

"Yes! Caterpie evolves into Metapod!" I shouted.

A loud ding sound came from all around me, and the crowd cheered for me. I was rather embarrassed to take a quiz about Pokémon, but it was also easy. I couldn't let them challenge my pride, especially since they told me Green had passed with flying colors.

I can't let him keep outdoing me, so I agreed to participate in this quiz.

"Correct! Congratulations! You have earned the right to a new question!" The game show host eagerly announced. "How many certified Pokémon League badges?"

"8," I replied.

"Do they take me for a fool? These questions are child's play." I giggled to myself.

"Correct! Another question is coming your way! How many times does Poliwag evolve?" He asked, waiting for my response.

I thought about this one, but the answer quickly came. "2. First into a Poliwhirl, then a Poliwrath."

Applause came from the crowd, and I couldn't help but get a little flustered.

"Very Impressive! How about this? Ground types are immune against which type?" He asked, confident that I wouldn't get it.

I smirked. "Electric."

The crowd erupted with cheers and some even whistled. I nervously giggled and patiently waited for the next question to be asked.

He smirked and glared at me. "Then... Pokémon of the same kind and level are not identical?"

I blinked. "Huh?"

He grinned and repeated the question. "Pokémon of the same kind and level are not identical?"

"What is that asking?" I blurted out.

He grinned. "Admit defeat?"

I shook my head and thought about the question, but I couldn't think of anything. "No... I don't know."

He gasped. "How did you know?!"

I tilted my head and squinted my eyes. "Hmm?"

"How did you get the answer right? I was sure no one would get it!" He shouted.

I couldn't help but smile and pretend that I knew the answer the whole time. "I-I'm easily the best Pokémon trainer! Of course, I'd know the answer!"

He clicked his tongue and suddenly grinned widely. "Then who I am?"

"The game show host!" I shouted, tired of the endless questions.

He laughed loudly, the audience too. I suddenly felt embarrassed, like I had answered wrong. "I am..."

He threw his clothes off and quickly put on a long white lab white coat, his head was shiny and he wore a long white mustache. "Blaine! The red-hot leader of Cinnabar Gym! My fire-type Pokémon are all ready with intense heat!"

I grabbed Nessie's pokéball and smiled. "I'll cool you down with Nessie!" I internally cringed at myself.

He threw out a pokéball and unleashed a Growlithe: a cute Pokémon that had stripes like a tiger but acted more like a puppy. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the cute puppy Pokémon.
